Legacy in Stone
Madison County Courthouse Restoration Project

The Madison County Historic Preservation Commission supports the fund-raising work of the Friends of the Madison County Courthouse in their effort to gather the amount needed to provide for the renovation of our 1876 limestone courthouse.  This phase of restoration concentrates on an ADA-compliant south entrance, buttoning up the edges of the roof to keep moisture out, tuck pointing the limestone, outside stair repair, and replacement of the 1970s aluminum windows.

To learn more about the Courthouse Restoration Project, to make a one-time donation, or to pledge an amount to be paid over several years, please click on the Legacy in Stone link below.
